OPTIONAL BLOWER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
4.Insert blower assembly into interior, bottom of firebox.
Note: On peninsula models, the blower must be installed at the end which has the brick panel installed. Position blower assembly so that you align the notch on back of blower as- sembly with the center screw on side/end panel, then push the blower assembly against firebox outer panel. The blower wheel must be centered with the side/end wall of the firebox.
The magnets on the back and bottom of blower assembly will sufficiently hold blower assembly in place. See Figure 23.
5.Once the blower assembly is in position, locate the plug but- ton in the top corner of the firebox. Remove the plug with a standard screwdriver and discard plug.
6.Next, find the fan control switch and wire assembly. Feed the wires through the hole at the top of the firebox, and secure the fan control switch with two (2) #6 screws (provided). The fan control wires will slide down between the firebox and outer wrap near the blower assembly. See Figure 22.
Note: This blower is equipped with a heat activated fan control switch. Blower will operate when the fireplace warms up, and will turn off automatically when the fireplace cools down. The time will vary for the activation of the fan con- trol switch depending on several factors including fireplace type, BTU input variables, and log set style. Generally, it may take from 10 to 20 minutes to activate blower/fan con- trol from a cold start.

7.Route the wires away from moving parts of the blower as- sembly and retain wires together near the blower motor using
the plastic purse clip provided.
8.To complete the installation, plug the power cord into the junction box receptacle previously installed in the bottom of the fireplace. See Figure 23.
9.Once all connections are made electrically, it is recommend- ed that you test the blower fan control operation by turning on power to the blower (Caution: 110 Volt). Turn the fireplace
on and let run until blower is activated. This should take ap- proximately 10 to 20 minutes from a cold start. Once blower
is activated, check for proper operation. Do not place handsFigure 24 near blower assembly or other wiring while power is on.
10.Replace louver(s).
11.This completes the installation of the optional FBB5 Blower kit accessory.
